//------------------------------// // Chapter 10 // Story: Fluttershy Blooms (A Flutterpie Tale) // by Mocha Star //------------------------------// Fluttershy lay in her bed as the midafternoon sun shone into her room, speckling off minute hairs and dust floating in the warm spring air. She couldn't feel anything but a warm afterglow from what she'd done to Pinkie, then what the nice puppy had done to her in return. She giggled at the idea of being in love with a dog, a lesser animal in some ways... she looked over to Pinkie, who was lying beside her and playing with a portable gaming device with her forehooves while her hindlegs kicked and thrusted in response to the game. "Pinkie, what are you playing?" she asked with a smirk, expecting some filly's game with monster hunting or perhaps a colt game of fighting for dominance of a sandbox. "Solitaire. Level six. I'm on a roll," Pinkie said arching her back and reaching under her with a foreleg quickly and grabbing a warm soft roll. "Want some?" Fluttershy looked with interest at what'd happened just then and shook her head slightly. "No thank you, I'm not hungry because I just ate." "Meh, more for me," Pinkie tossed the roll into her mouth and started to chew, then began to cough loudly. Changing colors slightly she rolled her head over the bedside and spat bread from her mouth and swallowed whatever was left. Once her airway was safely cleared she laughed and rolled to her back with a grin and obvious glow about her. "That, was funny because it was true," Pinkie finally said, returning to her game. "Well, I'm glad you liked it. I practiced it for a while earlier and was worried you wouldn't think it was funny." "Where'd you hear it?" "I got a few pointers from some local pegasi. You know Blossomforth and Cloud Kicker?" Pinkie glanced over and an eyebrow rose. "Yeees, two very... uh, promiscuous mares that really have a thing for buying icing in bulk. I like them!" Pinkie grinned and moved her head to the side, tilting the game with her. "Well, they have very colorful language and offered me some ideas on what to say that are a bit more naughty than I'm used to, but," Fluttershy shrugged, "life is full of stuff, right?" "Heh, you have no idea," Pinkie said tossing the game aside and rolling to her side to look at Fluttershy, "and for the record, I really think we should go on a vacation somewhere. Just us and no animals," she smirked and reached a hoof up to the collar around her neck then trailed the leash, looped around Fluttershy's left forehoof, "except me, of course." "Well," Fluttershy held the silence as she pondered, "I think I'd love to. But, Pinkie, you're okay playing pet and pony, right?" "Meh, it's something new and anything with you is fun," Pinkie let her hoof slide against the hair on Fluttershy's foreleg, "and I mean anything." "Pinkie, you're so important to me that I just don't know what I'd do without you. I feel too needy, am I?" "Nah, if you were I'd tell you in a pop. Not like a soda pop, but a popcorn popping all buttery and parmesan cheese! Are you getting hungry too?" Fluttershy giggled but shook her head. "No, I'm full. Perhaps you'd like to do something else?" her eyes narrowed slightly in a seductive way. Pinkie looked over to Fluttershy and sighed. "Flutters, there is one little, teeny, tiny, itty bitty thing I was thinking about ma~ybe bringing up if -urk-," Pinkie's head expanded then returned to normal size as she giggled happily, "I like when you choker me like that," she giggled, rubbing the band across her throat, "but, yeah, I kinda think you have, well... you may have a problem coping with something and you just might be using all this to cover up something," she stopped as the leash was pulled and she fell over atop Fluttershy. "Pinkie, you talk too much," Fluttershy whispered as she pressed their lips together. "I don't have problems when I have you." "What if you didn't have me, what then?" Fluttershy's eyes narrowed at the mare laying on her, muzzle inches from hers and a friendly concerned expression on her pink face. "I'd love her and appreciate her as a friend then," she finally said, averting her eyes. "I'd know that no matter what, for a while, I was free of my past failures and that she had taught me how to love ponies again, more than just as friends but as creatures worthy of caring about, in the same way, they care about me. I wasn't able to see that," she looked at Pinkie again with a soft look and smile, "and it's all thanks to you. If you wanna leave me, I won't even cry a little, Pinkie," she caressed Pinkie's face in her hooves and let the leash fall. "Pinkie, you've made me more than I was and that's not something I'll ever just get over or be sad about because you listened to me, trusted me with your secrets as well, and I'll never forget that. I'll never go back to the pony I was... at least not as much as I was," she giggled. "Don't worry, I won't leave you. We're already together and it's like we're starting a herd of our own! Maybe we can expand on how many mares we bring in and you can have a harem'ph-" Pinkie started before she was pulled into another kiss, this time the collar fell off her with a quiet clatter of the metal ring hitting the latch on the leash as it impacted Fluttershy's belly and bounced to her side. "Pinkie, I... I love you like I haven't truly loved anypony since I was a filly," she brought her head up and nuzzled Pinkie, "I want to be yours, and only yours." Pinkie's eyes widened slightly. "W-wait, you mean you wanna be with me like in a herd with me?" When Fluttershy nodded Pinkie giggled and hugged her tightly, pulling the yellow mare on top of her. With a forceful push, Fluttershy pressed herself up so she was stratling the pink mare. "Flutters, you can have all of me," she sucked her lips in and glanced side to side, "mirror pool not included." "Deal," she leaned down and nuzzled Pinkie. "Now, I'm behind tending to the animals and you're behind on baking that cake for Miss Duty's promotion to supervisor-" "Super Duty," Pinkie snorted a laugh. "Yes, Pinkie. It is amusing, but we're behind and now I don't really feel the desire to take my widdle puppy for a walkies around the house," she booped Pinkie's nose. "Awe, maybe the puppy can come over tonight around bedtime? With mister leash and missus hoofcuffs, with," her eyes closed then opened lustfully, "uncle riding crop?" The both shivered and shared a smile. "Bring a new bridle, I have a feeling we're going to play late into the night." Pinkie hummed. "Yeah, I can see that. Well," she stretched and zipped from under Fluttershy, standing on all four hooves and wearing a fake mustache. "Must be dashing off now. Toodles," she backflipped from the bed and silence befell the room. Fluttershy took wing with soft flaps and looked over the edge of the bed to see the bare floor. With a giggle, she felt a warmth in her chest, a fulfillment she'd forgotten years before and now drank in the warmth that seemed to exude from her. A sparkle and shimmer emanated from her chest and a bright flash of light swole from the cottage to cover the whole of Ponyville, the Everfree Forest, and every creature within. She sighed contently and landed on the bed then hopped off with a clatter of her hooves on the floor then she pranced happily out of her room and downstairs to take care of her animals. Pinkie fell into her bed bouncing and cartwheeling several times until she finally landed on her tail on the floor. "Guess what, Gummy! I've got a special somepony forever! And she's amazing, and sweet, and soft, and warm, and yummy... That... might be too much information for your little ears. Anyway," she giggled and shut her eyes as she placed her hooves into her mouth and held back a joyful scream. A pink light emanated from her and in a heartbeat a sphere of pink energy exploded from her, covering the city and surrounding area. She opened her eyes and sighed. "Wow, what tastes like pink?" she smacked her lips and shrugged. "Oh well, gotta do stuff, catch ya later, Gummy," she gave him a soft hug and opened the door to her room. Her ears perked and she smiled as a familiar tug pulled at her and she ran downstairs. "A heartsong! Where are we?" she leapt out into the street and stumbled to a stop. "What the... Dozens of heartsongs? At the same time?!" she laughed, screamed, and jumped into the air as she picked one at random and joined in with at least five more to go before they should have been done.
